copying features or bodies to another part

[atama]

Hi, is there any way of copying features, such as a loft, from one part to another? I've created quite a complicated loft in one part and I wish to reproduce it in another part without building it again, does anybody know if that's even possible? Besides making an assembly? Thanks.

Check out library features, create in the Index section Help file.

Basically you just drag the feature into an open folder of the Design Library.

In 2008 its possible, "Insert/Part"...then check all the options. Then right click the part in the feature tree and goto "List External References". There you'll find the "Break" option with the checkbox to keep the features.

Have you tried to CTRL drag from window to window?
